Driller's Offsider Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve worked the night shift and the day shift on rigs, and I know the drill inside out. On my last job I helped set up a new rig string and adjusted mud flow to stabilise the hole, which cut non-productive down time by about 15 hours a week. I’m practical, steady under pressure, and I value clear handovers and safe work practices. I’m keen to bring solid experience with rig and equipment setup, pipe assembly and disassembly, and mud circulation to [Company Name]. I’ve supported core and cuttings analysis, valve regulation and well control, and I’ve handled lifting gear and pump maintenance without fuss. I work well with roughnecks, toolpushers and site supervisors, and I keep an eye on fatigue, weather risk, and equipment wear. There was a shift where I helped reconfigure a casing plan mid-run after the mud system started to glow a bit hot. I coordinated with the pump crew to adjust flow and logging, ensured the correct pipe and casing fit, and got the crew back on track quickly. The well stayed within target parameters and the crew finished the day with no injuries or near misses. I’m available for a chat about the Driller’s Offsider role and how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’ve got a solid track record and I’m ready to discuss availability and site fit. Kind regards, [Your Name]
